Epigenetics are variations in gene expression that does not contain changes to the principal DNA sequence. Therefore, it is a alteration in phenotype without a modification in genotype. With this, all traits are considered epigenetic, the production of genetic and non-genetic effects, begins with methylation at conception, which will then continue throughout the life.
